[There are a lot of scribbled-out words. Those of you who can read Portuguese (Eridan) or Greek (Cyrus, Eridan) might be able to make out little words and phrases in the pink scribbles - "Help me", "I don't know what to do", "I can't" - but most of the scribbles are too scratched out to be legible.]

Could...
Could someone please come get me? I need someplace to stay for the rest of the holidays.
I really hate to trouble anyone, I'm sure everyone's having a lot of fun with their families and friends, but I don't know what else to do.

Please.

I can't stay here anymore.

I don't know what to do, Professor! I just...I have to leave. I can't come back to this house again, but I don't...have anywhere to go.

[The entire post is written in Greek, so hooray secrecy.]

What is going on? Have you found someone to stay with yet? I can arrange for someone to find a place for you if you are still in a bad situation.

Also in Greek! Eridan could read it, but I think that's about it.

Professsor Vantas offered to let me stay with them.
I've got the rest of the holiday arranged, anyway.

I don't know what I'll do at the end of the term.

That is acceptable! :D

I suppose I shall be seeing you for Easter then.

That being said, what exactly is going on?

My nanny passed away this morning, Sir.
I don't know where Mother is, and nor do I care, if she couldn't be bothered to come home to say goodbye.

This stupid house isn't home anymore.

I'm very sorry to hear that.
Have you tried to get in contact with your mother to at least inform her?

In addition, have funeral arrangements been made?

Of course I did. I sent her an owl a couple of days ago, when Nanny Gloria couldn't get out of bed, then I sent her another one last night, when I knew...

[There are wet smudges suddenly appearing on the page.]

I don't know how to do any of that. I don't know what to do, I'm just a kid!

Was it really too much to ask for Mother to just come home for once in her life?
Nanny Gloria asked for her, but she didn't come. She didn't even answer the owls. I don't know where she is, and I don't care!
As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a mother anymore!
